ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, we discussed those sections of the extreme right which looked to national socialism for inspiration. But racists have not solely looked to inter-war Germany, and in this chapter we will look at some of those groupings who believe instead that it is aspects of the American experience which should be central. More precisely, they look to two particular aspects of that experience, the Confederacy and the subsequent rise and fall of Southern segregation. This belief in the South as the template of a white politics has taken a number of forms. The most important, however, has been the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan.
